SUMMARY:Comedian Louie Anderson
DESCRIPTION:One Night ONLY! \nIconic comedian Louie Anderson\, the three-time Emmy Award® winner\, is \none of the country’s most recognized and adored comics; named by Comedy \nCentral as “One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time.” His \ncareer has spanned more than 30 years. He is a best-selling author\, star of \nhis own stand-up specials and sitcoms and he continues to tour the country \nperforming to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. \nIn 2016 Anderson was cast to co-star along with Zach Galifianakis and \nMartha Kelly in the hit FX comedy series Baskets. Anderson plays the \nextraordinary role of Christine\, the matriarch of the Baskets clan. He based \nthe character on his mother and his five sisters who were all a major \npresence in his life. Anderson won an Emmy Award for Outstanding \nSupporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Christine Baskets in \n2016. “I’m not as nice in the character as my mom was as a person. It \nreally is an extension of my mom\, Anderson says\, adding that he always \naims to make his performance “as real as possible” without “affecting or \ncartooning it up. It felt like it was divine intervention when I got the call to \nbe on the show\, that somehow my mom\, from the great beyond\, was finally \ngetting herself into show business where she truly belonged in the first \nplace.” \nSharing the ups and downs of his childhood experiences as one of eleven \nchildren in Minnesota\, Louie crafted comedy routines that rang true for his \nearly club audiences while reducing them to helpless fits of laughter\, \nroutines that led him from his career as a counselor to troubled children to \nthe first–place trophy at the 1981 Midwest Comedy Competition. Henny \nYoungman\, who hosted the competition\, recognized the diamond–in–the- \n-rough genius of the young comic and hired him as a writer\, providing \ninvaluable experience that soon put Louie in his own spotlight on comedy \nstages all over the country. Johnny Carson\, the comedy icon for generations \nof rising stars\, invited Louie to make his national television debut on the \n“The Tonight Show” in 1984\, and the rest is history. Leno\, Letterman\, The \nLate Late Show with Craig Ferguson\, “Comic Relief” and Showtime\, HBO and \nCMT specials followed\, including hosting the legendary game show\, Family \nFeud\, making Louie a household name and opening doors for him as an \nactor. He has guest starred in sitcoms like “Grace Under Fire” and dramas \nlike “Touched by an Angel” and “Chicago Hope\,” and he has had memorable \nfeatured roles in film comedies like “Coming to America\,” opposite of Eddie \nMurphy\, and the classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” In 2013\, he took a dive on \nthe ABC reality series\, “Splash” where he conquered his own fears while \nbecoming an inspiration of hope. His standup Special\, “Big Baby Boomer” \npremiered on CMT\, in 2013. Also in that year\, he competed and inspired on \nthe ABC reality competition show\, Splash. \nIn 1995 Louie put his creative energies to work on the Saturday morning \nanimated series “Life with Louie.” The long–running series based on Louie’s \nown childhood and his life with his father won three Humanitas Prizes for \nwriting on a children’s’ animated series\, making him the only three–time \nrecipient of this award. It also earned a Genesis Award for its depiction of \nthe proper treatment of animals and\, most significantly\, two Emmy Awards. \nHis best-selling books include “Dear Dad – Letters From An Adult Child”\, a \ncollection of alternately touching and outrageous letters from Louie to his \nlate father\, and “Good-bye Jumbo…Hello Cruel World”\, self-help for those \nwho struggle with self-esteem issues\, and his latest installment on family\, \n“The F Word\, How To Survive Your Family.” \nWhen not in production\, Louie continues to tour\, traveling the States doing \nwhat Louie loves to do\, Stand-Up Comedy. Louie again delivers to his fans \nhis inimitable brand of humor and warmth \n \n
